Actually those books are allowed in Florida libraries, just not in certain school districts. They are available for anyone who wants to read them. Sorry to burst your bubble there Charlie. The main thrust was to keep books with pornographic material away from elementary school children.

The misinformation is strong with this PERB crew.
Leave it to the woke crew on PERB to think there's something wrong with threatening teachers and school librarians with prison for having, um, books.

I'm sure public librarians don't think for a minute that they're next.

Being woke is not necessarily about being kind or good. Its more about moving forward an agenda like having men infiltrate womens sports and locker rooms and sexualizing elementary school children. But if thats what you want and think its being considerate....hey ok its your opinion. I dont agree with it.
The definition of woke means different things to different people. You can define it one way, I will define it another. But don't bother using it as an 'insult' on this board, it just doesn't take.

At one point in time....in fact not long ago. Society as a whole frowned upon these sort of topics & acts. Somehow, the mainstream medias "brainwashing kool - aide" worked.
The power of the media can be quite amazing. Just like mass marketing negative subjects. If it's marketed on tv, pushed by government policies --- hey, it must be safe. :rolleyes:
The propaganda isnt working anymore...

Have you tried watching tv or movies at all? Thats sexualizing kids., not someone being open about orientation. Its not the penthouse forum for kids hour. More pearls clutched

Remember when Trump rounded up all his opponents the first time he was President?

Neither do I

Your TDS is strong.
Right. Neither do I remember him hinting that the second amendment crowd could do something about Hillary. Oh right he did dog whistle his crowd to use their second amendment to do something about Hillary.

I watched all the videos.

What's your point?

Do you have one?

TDS is a bitch.

Once it gets hold of a person, it doesn't let go.

Who are these people who were sent to jail?

I must have missed that?

Is there a list?

Some names?

Anything?

Crazy fucking Florida is starting to look a lot like Nazi Germany.

Batshit Crazy: Think Trump is a smart, sane businessman; not suffering from narcissistic personality disorder; mentally fit to be POTUS.

The Nation

Current print and media circulation, 96,000.

US population, approximately 333 million.

Apparently it's not on the top of the list for most people when they look for "news"

Are there some wingnut super woke "educators" that think they're about to be thrown in jail for having some book?

I would say yes.

Is TDS a certifiable psychological condition?

I would say yes.

woke has progressed, it's been hijacked, it's no longer close to that definition

here's an example, which is also Batshit Crazy, just on the other side of the aisle

which isn't being accepted, much like the right zealots with Trumpf

1. Prevented Hillary Clinton from becoming President.

2. Gave the middle finger to Iran.

3. Slowed the general overall decline of the US.
None of the above is true. Hillary actually got more votes than him.
Apart from that, not much to show for 4 years in office really, is it.
What's his platform this time? except for regurgitating his outrage at all his law suits.

Hillary getting more votes doesn't mean she gets to be president. I don't know why people ignore the fact that the US Presidential election is a FPTP-type of election. Electoral college votes matter/determines the result, not the popular vote. I get people don't like Trump. But throughout modern US presidential elections, a candidate generally needs to carry at least 25 states. Hillary could not meet that threshold. It's great that she got millions of more votes than Trump in California or NY State. Her problem wasn't her popularity in large blue states - it's that she needed half a million more votes in a bunch of states that, for whatever reason, she believed didn't matter. I don't think the 2016 election surprise (at least for me, an outsider looking in) was that Trump won, it was (apparently) how unpopular Hillary is/was in certain parts of the country. Even Obama's 2nd term election, when he was a tad less popular still carried 26 states, Hillary didn't even carry 22. Bill Clinton carried 30 or more states in each of his two presidential elections. I don't really care whether you want Biden or Trump to win. But if you want Dems to win, you better hope he carries at least 25 states. It doesn't even, generally, matter what the other 23 states are, as Dems can pencil-in California and NY as blue (and their 80 some-odd combined electoral votes). For Dems the tragedy of 2016 was Trump - the true tragedy is that the Dems couldn't muster 23 other states, what with their darn near automatic 80 odd electoral college head start that is California and NY.

A lot of people who are bent out of shape about Trump might want to take it up with Hillary.

The Democratic establishment wanted her as their candidate but they didn't appreciate her lack of popularity in most of the country.

She's a greasy, conniving grifter.

Her claim to fame?

Bill Clinton's wife.

I rest my case.

Banning books.
"Don't say gay" laws.
An entire political party that is scared shitless to say Biden won the election.
A presidential candidate facing 92 felony indictments.
Going to war with Disney World
Complete abortion bans using 1864 laws.
Withholding funds from Ukraine to help Putin.
Stacking courts so they resemble the Catholic Church, more than they resemble the American people.
Cable "news" channels being useful idiots for Putin.

Yeah, everything is dandy in the MAGA states of America. At least according to some on this forum.
